Hi Sören,

while I don't want to discourage you in your work, symlinking the
package manager to /usr/bin/nimue isn't going to solve a more
fundamental issue: every distro has a different naming scheme for
packages. Sure, the "big" programs (Firefox for instance) have usually
the name you'd expect, but with libraries this won't help at all.

Practical example: I want to install the development version of
expat:
Fedora & CentOS: expat-devel
Debian & Ubuntu: libexpat1-dev
OpenSUSE: libexpat-devel
Arch: expat
Alpine: expat-dev

Solving this is next to impossible, unless you want to enumerate
**every** single package of **every** supported distro manually.


Cheers,

Dan
